Hi, I am Makani, aka MKCuber, a homeschooled speedcuber from Florida. I solve twisty puzzles fast. I average about 17-19 seconds on the traditional 3×3 Rubik’s Cube. Here’s a quick video of me solving, filmed in an awesome shotbox.

I started Cubing.US for multiple reasons: I saw a need to help with the cube store customer service, and there aren’t a lot of cube stores based out of the United States. I wanted to change that. I also wanted to teach others how to solve the cube, and what is easier than a website to teach them? Everything they need is in one place. A store, videos, algorithm sheets and more! That is where I got the idea for Cubing.US. Plus, my mom is a blogger and social media expert, so she helped.

Me and my family started Cubes for Kids because we wanted to give back. We said that we wanted to help underprivileged kids around the world get toys they can use for a long time. I learned about social enterprise studying Tom’s Shoes a few years ago during my state championship days on a FIRST LEGO league robotics team. (You can see a video we made below)

They are simple speed cubes, 3×3 puzzle cubes in two different colors, sold to help Cubes for Kids.

What is our goal?

We want to help underprivileged kids all around the world. Cubes are the perfect puzzle for kids because they’re portable, require no batteries, can be solved again and again and keep kids’ brains engaged.

How can I contact you? You can contact me at makani@cubing.us for anything help you need on the site.

How do you take your awesome pictures and videos? For filming, I use my iPhone 6. And for lighting, I use an awesome device called a ShotBox™. It has lights from all angles, and backdrops with different colors! The ShotBox is a MUST for any YouTube Cuber. If you’d like to buy one, here‘s the link
